I don't know for sure, Charles, but I would start with Lotsa Pasta or Rainbow Blossom on the rices and fall back on Whole Foods (or possibly World Market, which I don't know very well) if the locals don't come through.

I'm not sure about high-fiber pasta, but a friend who works at Creation Gardens gave us a pack of corn-quinoa pasta (!) that was surprisingly awesome, i.e., you couldn't really tell it from the real thing. It was supposed to be highly nutritious, but I can't speak to the fiber issue.

My first thought was Creation Gardens also- sorry no option there. You can call Lotsa Pasta to see if they have red or black rice ( I recently noticed they've expanded their rice selections.) You may also want to try EarthFare at the Summit- they have some interesting gourmet options and heavy on gluten-free so they may have some.

Thanks, Brad! My MIL is newly on a high fiber diet due to a stroke, and I will going to stock up on this for both of us . ( a sad/ funny note: my BIL assured her that "pasta was a high fiber food " after he researched the issue on the Mayo Clinic site. He neglected to read " the fine print" that they said whole grain pasta). Deb

Tonight for dinner, we had the Ancient Harvest spaghetti with a light marinara as a side. I highly recommend it ( though it's expensive at $3.69 for 8oz). A corn flour and quinoa flour blend, the favor was very good with an extra depth over semolina pasta,; cooked al dente, it was perfectly separate and no gumminess like I've found in whole wheat pastas. 4g of fiber per serving.

We all REALLY liked this product- I understand why Joel's friends raved!
